Step-by-step solution for: Manners and Etiquette
Let’s work through Exercise 1: Match the vocabulary to the definitions below.
We have 14 words/phrases on the left (numbered 1–14) and 14 definitions on the right (lettered A–N). We need to pair each word with its correct definition.
---
Step-by-step matching:
1. crude adj → This means rude, offensive, or lacking refinement. Look for a definition about bad language or being offensive.
→ L. use bad language. (But wait — “crude” is more about being rough or offensive in behavior or speech. Let’s check others.)
Actually, looking again:
M. comments made about sb/sth. — too vague.
J. polite conduct expected... — no, that’s opposite.
Wait — L says “use bad language” — but “crude” can mean that, but let’s see if there’s better.
Actually, K. use bad language — same as L? Wait, no — look:
In the image, it says:
K. use bad language.
L. be disgusted / hurt by something.
M. comments made about sb/sth.
N. rude, offensive, impolite, uncultured ← This must be it! But N is cut off? In the image, it says:
“N. rude, offensive, impolite, uncultured” — yes, that matches “crude”.
So:
✔ 1 → N
2. behaviour n → How somebody acts.
→ C. how somebody acts.
✔ 2 → C
3. offended adj → Feeling hurt or upset because of something said or done.
→ L. be disgusted / hurt by something. (This fits — “hurt” = offended)
✔ 3 → L
4. bothered adj → Feeling annoyed or troubled.
→ F. feel annoyed by sb/sth.
✔ 4 → F
5. curse v → To say something offensive or hurtful, often involving bad language.
→ E. say sth offensive about someone and hurt their feelings.
✔ 5 → E
6. mannerly adj/adv → Polite, well-behaved.
→ B. acting politely.
✔ 6 → B
7. etiquette n → Rules for polite behavior in society or at events.
→ J. polite conduct expected to be observed in social settings.
✔ 7 → J
8. apologise v → To say sorry.
→ D. say sorry to somebody.
✔ 8 → D
9. codes of practice n → Rules employees follow at work.
→ G. rules employees follow to show good manners at work.
✔ 9 → G
10. table manners n → Manners used when eating at dinner.
→ A. manners used when eating at a dinner table.
✔ 10 → A
11. insult v/n → To offend or hurt someone’s feelings with words or actions.
→ M. comments made about sb/sth. — Not quite.
Wait — E is taken.
Look again:
Actually, insult is to deliberately hurt someone’s feelings — so maybe M? No, M is too neutral.
Wait — perhaps E was meant for “curse”, but “insult” is closer to making hurtful comments.
But we already matched “curse” to E.
Let’s recheck:
Actually, looking at the list again —
There’s N taken, L taken, etc.
Wait — maybe insult goes to M? But M says “comments made about sb/sth” — that’s too broad.
Perhaps I made a mistake earlier.
Let me reassign carefully:
Actually, let’s list all definitions clearly from the image (as best as possible):
A. manners used when eating at a dinner table.
B. acting politely.
C. how somebody acts.
D. say sorry to somebody.
E. say sth offensive about someone and hurt their feelings.
F. feel annoyed by sb/sth.
G. rules employees follow to show good manners at work.
H. without delay/in an expected timeframe.
I. hand/body movements to signal some meaning.
J. polite conduct expected to be observed in social settings.
K. use bad language.
L. be disgusted / hurt by something.
M. comments made about sb/sth.
N. rude, offensive, impolite, uncultured.
Now re-match:
1. crude adj → N (rude, offensive...) ✔
2. behaviour n → C (how somebody acts) ✔
3. offended adj → L (be disgusted/hurt) ✔
4. bothered adj → F (feel annoyed) ✔
5. curse v → K (use bad language) — because “curse” often means swearing. Earlier I said E, but E is more general offense. “Curse” specifically involves bad language. So better:
✔ 5 → K
Then E is free for “insult”.
6. mannerly adj/adv → B (acting politely) ✔
7. etiquette n → J (polite conduct in social settings) ✔
8. apologise v → D (say sorry) ✔
9. codes of practice n → G (rules at work) ✔
10. table manners n → A (eating at dinner) ✔
11. insult v/n → E (say sth offensive and hurt feelings) ✔
12. remarks n → M (comments made about sb/sth) ✔
13. gestures n → I (hand/body movements) ✔
14. in a timely manner exp → H (without delay) ✔
Perfect — all matched.
Final matches:
1 → N
2 → C
3 → L
4 → F
5 → K
6 → B
7 → J
8 → D
9 → G
10 → A
11 → E
12 → M
13 → I
14 → H

Now, for Exercise 2, since the user didn’t specify to solve it, and the options are false, we only provide the answer for Exercise 1 as requested.
But note: The instruction says “Solve the problem accurately” — and the main problem shown is Exercise 1 (matching). Exercise 2 is open-ended writing, which isn’t solvable in a single answer format. Since the user didn’t specify which exercise, but Exercise 1 is multiple choice matching, we’ll assume that’s the one to solve.
Also, the final answer should be the matched pairs.
But how to present? As a list?
Since it’s a matching exercise, we can write:
1-N, 2-C, 3-L, 4-F, 5-K, 6-B, 7-J, 8-D, 9-G, 10-A, 11-E, 12-M, 13-I, 14-H
That’s clear.
Final Answer:
1-N, 2-C, 3-L, 4-F, 5-K, 6-B, 7-J, 8-D, 9-G, 10-A, 11-E, 12-M, 13-I, 14-H
We have 14 words/phrases on the left (numbered 1–14) and 14 definitions on the right (lettered A–N). We need to pair each word with its correct definition.
